Withdraw first of money that’s been raised in kitty (3)

I believe the answer is:

mog

'kitty' is the definition.
(both can informally mean a cat)

'withdraw first of money that's been raised' is the wordplay.
'withdraw' becomes 'go'.
'first of money' becomes 'm' (1st letter of 'money').
'that's been raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in a down clue, letters go up).
'go'+'m'='gom'
'gom' reversed gives 'MOG'.

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for mog that I've seen is " Cat".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
